408 You’ll Die (1/2)

A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Solan's lips as he thought about it before straightening his face. He was certain that Mafa Merlin's house had a Planar Path that led to a very fertile and mysterious plane. 'How else could a 9th Rank Magic Apprentice like Mafa Merlin attain his present achievements? Oh, right, and those two True Spirit Magic Tools definitely came from that mysterious plane.'

Solan had good reasons to kill Mafa Merlin. Let alone becoming a Representative of the Council of Seven, even reaching Heaven Rank was very likely if he could snatch those two True Spirit Magic Tools as well as that mysterious plane.

Suddenly, a Dragon's aura was emitted from his body, and the Dragon Breath he had been holding was finally released and covered the entire hall, but the brunt of the attack was directed at Lin Yun.

Solan and Lin Yun had been separated by two meters, something he had planned. He estimated that Mafa shouldn't be able to react in time from such a short distance.

Even a Sword Saint with an extremely fierce body wouldn't fare well when hit by that.

What's more, Mafa Merlin was only a High Mage who relied on his two True Spirit Magic tools to defeat him, his own strength was pathetic.

The moment he released that Dragon Breath, Solan knew that Mafa Merlin was screwed. And everything Mafa Merlin had in Thousand Sails City would be his.

At this time, he saw the young mage's black robe fluttering under the blast and knew that the enchanted robe would soon fail to resist and the young mage would disappear from the face of Noscent.

But then...

”How, how… How could this be!?”

The over-excitement led to his face suddenly freezing, as if he had seen a ghost. His eyes were wide open as he looked in front of him with disbelief.

He had just seen the Dragon Breath reaching Mafa, and the young mage remaining motionless as if he hadn't noticed it, not even putting up any defensive spells. Yet, an incredible scene appeared when the Dragon Breath was about to hit the young mage. The young mage turned fuzzy and disappeared. Then, after the Dragon Breath dissipated, the young mage reappeared in place.

'Shit! Damn it…'

Solan really wanted to ask, 'Mafa Merlin, are you possessed by a Demon? How else could something like that happen? This simply shouldn't be possible…'

He had the urge to kill him, had schemed and used the most powerful method he had on hand to handle that young mage, yet he hadn't expected that young mage to easily deal with it. Let alone being injured, even his robe was spotless.

But...

At this time, a huge, black hand appeared above Solan's head and heavily slammed down.

This was a 5th Tier Spell, Earth Rending Hand.

Solan didn't even have time to react when that large hand fell down, and ended up pressed against the ground, turning deathly pale in an instant. Half of his defensive enchantments had been destroyed, and if not for those enchantments, he might have died.

”Sir Solan, this is embarrassing, you went against the mages' unspoken rule of honoring contracts. Our cooperation stops here…”

Lin Yun had a dark expression, not at all hiding his intent to kill. With a wave of his Doom Staff, three blazing Flame Bursts instantly appeared, dragging long, flaming trails behind them as they flew towards Solan.

He had already steeled himself.

On the 11th floor of the magic tower, he had been forced into this strange cooperative agreement with Solan due to circumstances. If the other side hadn't had the strength of a 5th Rank Archmage and had value, he would have already been killed.

If it had been just a dirty trick, Lin Yun might have been able to tolerate it.

But what just happened clearly exceeded what he could put up with.

In fact, Lin Yun was already paying attention when Solan came out of the illusion and approached him. His Magic Array was working at full capacity, monitoring Solan's every movement. When that powerful Dragon Breath appeared, the Magic Array instantly analyzed it and classified it Dragon Breath as an attack of a Dragon surpassing Heaven Rank.

Surpassing Heaven Rank...

Lin Yun was instantly startled. An existence surpassing Heaven Rank wasn't to be trifled with. Such a being could destroy him by lifting a finger. But how could Solan have a power surpassing Heaven Rank? In a split second, Lin Yun recalled the illusion.

'Right, it was definitely the illusion.'

Those who entered the illusion got some benefits, and the mana fluctuations on Solan's body were still at the 5th Rank Archmage realm, no different from before he entered the illusion.

It looked like the gain he got from the illusion wasn't an increase in power like himself and the others, rather, he obtained something.

He only understood when Solan released that Dragon Breath. Solan obtained that Dragon Breath in the illusion, and the owner of that Dragon Breath was a Dragon that surpassed Heaven Rank!

Just how frightening was its breath?
